The Phanteks Polar ST5 CPU Cooler

The Phanteks Polar ST5 CPU Cooler offers high-performance cooling in an affordable package, ideal for mainstream and high-end gaming PCs. This air cooler is designed to provide excellent thermal management, even in demanding systems, while keeping noise levels low and offering sleek aesthetics. Below is a breakdown of its features and specifications:

High-Performance Cooling for Mainstream & High-End Setups

The Phanteks Polar ST5 cooler features five powder copper heat pipes, which ensure effective heat transfer by directly contacting the CPU heat spreader. This improved design enhances the cooling efficiency compared to smaller coolers and can handle CPUs with a TDP of up to 255W, making it suitable for more powerful and overclocked systems.

Sleek All-Black Design

With a sleek all-black finish, the Polar ST5 provides a minimalist aesthetic that blends well with any build, ensuring it won’t clash with other components or interfere with RAM slots. The top cover plate enhances the clean look, giving the cooler a premium finish.

Phanteks M25-120 DRGB PWM Fan

The cooler includes a 120mm Phanteks M25-120 PWM fan that delivers reliable cooling performance. Operating between 400 and 2000 RPM, it provides up to 84.26 CFM of airflow and a static pressure of 2.67mmH2O to effectively cool the CPU. The fan can be dynamically controlled based on the workload, allowing for precise speed adjustments to meet the system’s thermal needs. The fan also operates at 35.7 dBA at maximum speed, ensuring a quiet experience.

The fan is equipped with DRGB (Digital RGB) lighting, allowing users to customize the lighting effects and sync them with other RGB components in the system. The fan’s RGB lighting can be controlled via software like ASUS Aura Sync, RGB Fusion 2.0, MSI Mystic Light, ASRock Polychrome Sync, and Razer Chroma.

High-Quality Thermal Paste

The cooler comes pre-applied with Phanteks PH-NDC thermal compound, a high-performance 4.3W/m-k thermal paste that ensures optimal thermal conductivity between the CPU heat spreader and the cooler base. This helps close any gaps, improving the overall heat transfer for better cooling performance.
